We begin our workshops which will be delivered within the scope of Haklara Destek capacity building program.
The first workshop was prepared and given by Derya Göçer*. The workshop is titled “Advocacy from Data to Evidence Workshop” and it will comprise of four sessions and take place on 17-18 April and 27-28 April.
One person from each organization will participate in the workshops. We suggest that individuals who have been involved in the field research (if any) carried out by their organization and who are experienced in report writing to participate in the workshops.
The workshop will tackle the relationship between data and advocacy. Examples of research for advocacy will be provided, and based on these examples, practical applications regarding how to conduct research will be demonstrated.
